Collection: Essential Oils for Dandruff & Itchy Scalp

Dandruff, itchy scalp, and persistent flaking almost always share the same root cause — an overgrowth of the fungus that naturally lives on every scalp, driven by excess sebum and the inflammation that follows. The right oils address all three: antifungal oils target the fungus directly, carrier oils regulate sebum production to cut off its food supply, and anti-inflammatory oils calm the redness and irritation left behind.

Aroma Tierra's dandruff collection brings together the most effective natural oils for each of these roles. Tea Tree, Lemongrass, and Neem Oil are all clinically studied antifungals — Lemongrass in particular has published evidence showing significant dandruff reduction within two weeks. Jojoba Oil mimics the scalp's natural sebum to regulate oil production over time, while Lavender, Peppermint, and Sea Buckthorn calm inflammation, soothe sensitivity, and relieve itching on contact.

Used together, these oils treat the condition at its root rather than masking the symptoms.
